They notify of major interruptions like that. And they often have an open thread that they want input from users while they are working on the problem. They did yesterday too! Very good. Only host I know that does it.
Dear TCH Family,
At around 9:30AM EST today, we identified a website defacement attack effecting a large number of our customers. We are still investigating, but it appears the attack was targeted at index.php files. We are currently looking at this to determine the extent of the defacement.
I will update you shortly.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this very serious matter.
